Dusan Tadic: Former Southampton midfielder becomes ninth player to earn 10/10 L’Equipe rating after display against Real Madrid
The Ajax playmaker ripped the Real Madrid defence apart - assisting two goals and scoring another - and has now been directly involved in more goals than any other player in the Champions League
Former Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic put in a performance for the ages for Ajax against Real Madrid on Tuesday evening.
The playmaker tore the European champions' defence apart - beautifully assisting two goals and adding one of his own as his side thrashed Los Blancos at the Bernebeu to send them out of Europe.
Tadic had unquestionable talent during his four year spell at St Mary's, but he's been nothing short of a revelation for the Eredivisie side this season.
He has netted 16 goals and added seven assists in 23 league matches and in Europe he has now been directly involved in more goals than any other player (9).
His display was so good that French sports outlet L'Equipe rated him a 10/10 - becoming just the ninth player in history to be given full marks by the newspaper.
But who else has scored full marks in the past? Find out below.
